The monthly chart of the Madrid General Index shows the index testing support at its 2009 low of 700. 13-Week Twiggs Money Flow crossing below zero warns of selling pressure. Failure of support would signal a decline to 600*.
* Target calculation: 750 – ( 900 – 750 ) = 600
France’s CAC-40 found support at 3150 after a sharp correction on the weekly chart. Declining 13-week Twiggs Money Flow — and last week’s gravestone candlestick — warn of selling pressure. Failure of support is likely and would suggest another test of primary support at 2800.
Germany’s DAX is also undergoing a correction but found stronger support at 6500. 13-Week Twiggs Money Flow continues to indicate long-term buying pressure. Respect of support, indicated by follow-through above 6800 would signal a primary advance to 7900*. Failure of support at 6500 is unlikely and would warn that the primary up-trend is weakening.
* Target calculation: 7200 + ( 7200 – 6500 ) = 7900
The FTSE 100 remains in a descending broadening wedge pattern. Upward breakout would indicate an advance to the earlier peak of 6000. Recovery of 21-day Twiggs Money Flow above zero would strengthen the signal, while respect of the zero line (from below) would warn of continued selling pressure. Reversal below 5720 would indicate another test of primary support at 5600.
